"Hidden" isn't hidden, at all...

<< < (2/9) > >>

K@:
How does it make sense?

Surely, if someone wants to be hidden, for whatever reason, they want to be hidden.

If they're not, really, hidden, why give the option?

emanuele:
Is remove the option a solution?
That would be mine. :P

Arantor:
I've long thought this is slightly bizarre behaviour, but there's no good answer.

If you show the time in the profile, it's obvious. If you don't show the time, however, it's still fairly obvious by the fact that you're posting and not really that hard to get around.

However you won't show up in the list at the foot of the board index (except to admins) so that you won't get pestered as much unless someone wants to talk to you specifically.

I personally would not want to remove the option as a whole.

not "hidden so that no one else knows your here"

that's why it makes sense to me. :P

it just hides you form the online list and the "now online" icon in posts...   so you don't get bugged by users.
As I see it, it's not intended as an "anti-stalking" measure, just as a "I'm incognito" flag.

Arantor:
Except that it's not particularly an incognito thing if you're an active poster...
